Freight Office completed
« on: July 12, 2011, 06:11:00 PM »
Here it is as I said in a previous post I wimped out making a pitched roof for the central section. But it's a good place for a cowpoke to take pot shots at some varmit from.

Made up with a little help from the whitewash city plans. Although it does not look anything like the whitewash city building. Also there was a little influence from the Red Dead Redemption game.  There is a corner freight office in one of the towns in the game.

wow! first impression: great idea to solve this "roof-math-problem"! Was it intended that way from the beginning? Either way, great place for any nasty sharpshooter.

Looks great!

Stuff like this always makes me want to start new tabletop-systems!

that's excellent: historically realistic and with a really nice colours and lights!! well done!


the only thing i dislike (but it is a different school) is the base: if you did only the building without base, it should be much more versatile, and can be used in very different backgrounds! :) This way there is a "step" after the base :(

I had planed an L shape building. I just didn't think about the roof until I got to that point. I then had a how the hell can I do this moment.

Yes someone else commented the same about another building. At some point I will buy a Dremmel or another tool to bevel the edge. i'm just not sure how well that it will work on the chip board that the base is made from. Maybe someone else has experience with this.  

I'm quite new to building terrain myself so it's all a learning experience for me. Lack of a local gaming club here in Limburg does not help with getting tips from Grognards on how to do stuff. I very much appreciate the fact that other gamers/modellers put tutorials out the there to help newbies like me.
